Video search company Blinkx.tv on Monday announced a partnership with BusinessWeek Online. The deal further boosts Blinkx's growing database of searchable video content, and makes BusinessWeek's
content easier to find on the Web. BusinessWeek's broad video network covers business, finance, and economic events; lifestyle including real estate, and personal finance; and breaking news. Blinkx
uses voice recognition software to transcribe the content of audio and video segments, so that users can search by words or phrases to find the exact broadcast material they're looking for. The search
engine returns screenshots of the videos, delivering users to the site to watch the ad-supported content. Blinkx currently gives searchers access to videos from over 70,000 hours of online videos,
with sources ranging from Reuters to Fox News to ESPN.
